TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- First-year University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman was not worried about putting a "must-win" tag on Saturday's game at Alabama.
His Razorbacks had lost their last three SEC games by a combined 16 points, had not shot the ball well from the free-throw line, the field or behind the arc, and had a few ailing players.
The Crimson Tide had won eight of their last 11 games with standout guards Kira Lewis and John Petty leading the way.
Yet Musselman, having a good read on his team, told the Razorbacks (16-5, 4-4 SEC) they had to have a win over the Crimson Tide.
